First time CA community Tank

[leopio]

This is my first attempt at keep CA cichlid. Ive kept Africans and SA before this is a 75 gal(60L*18W*16H).Stock lists includeds the following:
Pair F1 HRP "Rio Monga"
Pair F1 Leutistic HRP
Pair F1 C. Cutteri "Rio Jutiapa"
Pair Cryptoheros Myrnae
2 F1 A. Labiatus "Lago Nicaragua"
2 F1 Herichthys Labridens Blue Taninul
2 F2 Vieja Hartwegi
2 Pearsei.
not sure if i should add plastic plants yet but so far i like how it looks.sorry for the bad pics.

All I can suggest is, no plants and that tank will not last very long with your stock list. I say minimum of 180 with a stock list like that. A. labiatus grow 14"... WAY too huge for any tank under 125 gallon. Either get a bigger tank or take most of the fish back.

get rid of the larger growing fish and just keep all the crypotoheros otherwise the tank will be heavily over stocked

Leo bought a box lot from me, The fish are all about the same size, since the Cryptos are all adults they will keep the younguns of the larger species in check for a while. Ken
